What you still don’t know about Chakras

Chakras are energetical centers, wheel-like vortexes of universal energy that flow throughout the body. There are 7 main chakras aligning up your spine.

The word in Sanskrit means wheel or disk. The concept descends from the Hindu-Buddhist tradition.

You can imagine the chakras like a whirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet each other. This invisible energy is called Prana: it is a core life force that is able to keep us healthy and vibrant.

There are seven major energy centers and many small ones. Each corresponds to specific glands, organs, and aspects of your being.

There are two ways in which this energy flows through your system. Firstly, it rounds up and down along the central channel connecting each chakra. Secondly, there is a horizontal flow that exchanges energy with the Cosmos.

Disruptions in a chakras flow of energy can result in health, emotional, psychological and spiritual problems. It is essential that chakras stay open, aligned and fluid. If there is an obstruction, energy cannot flow normally. Consider that our bodies are in constant fluctuation between balance and imbalance.
